Mallorca Open Preview, Field And Prize Money
The last of the DP World Tour's Iberian Swing events sees last year's winner return to compete for an increased purse
After Jon Rahm’s record-equalling third title in the Spanish Open and Adrian Otaegui’s record-breaking win in last week’s Andalucia Masters, the DP World Tour’s Iberian Swing concludes with the Mallorca Open.
Last year, Dane Jeff Winther claimed his first victory in 129 attempts on the Tour during a drama-filled final round that saw him edge out three players by one shot. Winther’s performance included two rounds of 62. However, to replicate his achievements this week, he will need to do so on a different course from last year’s Golf Santa Ponsa. Son Muntaner Golf Club is this year’s host venue – a course accentuated by tricky approach shots over water towards greens frequently guarded by bunkers.
Two players who ran Winther so close last year, Pep Angles and Sebastian Soderberg, return as they hope to go one better, but the other runner-up, Spaniard Jorge Campillo, misses out. Another to miss out is LIV Golf player Patrick Reed. The American had been expected to participate, but he is no longer in the field as he prepares for next week’s LIV Golf season finale in Florida.
One of the world’s top 50 is participating this week, New Zealander Ryan Fox. The World No.25 endured a disappointing Andalucia Masters and missed the cut at Real Club de Valderrama. However, his one-shot victory in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship earlier in the month will still be fresh in his mind as he attempts to get back on track. Otaegui’s 19-under-par finish last week set a new course record over 72 holes as he won by six shots. The Spaniard is also in this week’s field as he looks to demonstrate a similar masterclass.
The Mallorca Open is a relatively new tournament on the DP World Tour circuit. Indeed, last year marked its debut. It is the last of five DP World Tour events taking place in Spain this year and each of the previous tournaments has found a Spanish winner. As a result, expectations will be on the field's homegrown talent, including Otaegui, Angles, and Rafa Cabrera-Bello, as they look to compete a clean sweep of local talent winning on home soil in 2022.
Players will compete for a purse of $2m, an increase of last year's €1m. The winner will claim $333,330. Below is a full breakdown of the field and prize money.
